TikTok should have been banned for everybody a long time ago in the UK but social media generally for teenagers? No, I think not. It just puts them further behind where they need to be to understand technology and make good use of it.
@TheLivingLibary Didn't work for the book I gave it but interestingly the app pretended it had found the book then put together answers based on a general dataset, not the book. That aside, this app doesn't seem to do anything you can't ask an LLM to do for you with a simple prompt.
The real Truman show. A Grusch-esque character testifying like this whilst nothing really changes. To misquote H.G.Wells: 'It seems depressingly obvious to me now that everyone spent that decade as though it were just like any other.' Because, in a sense it is.
๐ตโ๐ซ Grusch: The U.S. Government is Aware of Non-Human, Corporeal-Bipedal, and...Sentient-Plasmoid Life ๐ฌ
@RealAmVoice: "Can you confirm for us, how many species? Recent reports have said that there are perhaps four different alien species: Grays, Nordics How many species are you aware of?"
David Grusch: "I certainly don't have the compendium. It's a continuum from corporeal-bipedal type life to, you know, what I would consider is like, sentient-plasmoid life. But there are there are several that the U.S. government is aware of."
But suffice to say there's so much about the opening page that is him in terms of word choice, other lexical habits and fixations and joke style. Not that the ether cares.
I will take a proper look later. It may be an early play or play in draft that needed polishing or whatever but I can see straight away it's him in real time as I read it. Then I Google and am amazed actually not amazed at all that the gatekeepers of history ovelooked as per.
But I'll read more. I see 'your spleen confounds your self'. Spleen is a Shakespeare fave word & the wordplay style is his, + sentiment echoes 'heat not a furnace so hot you do singe yourself' or some similar in Henry VIII. I'm not even a Shakespeare expert. Just know a voice.
From the first line Thomas of Woodstock is Shakespearean. The very first line! Then the Shakespearenisms don't stop. How is it that people don't see this? As red is red and green is green. I've only just read the damn thing as far as spleen beginning pg 2.And need not go further.
2/'This is catastrophic. I once ruled half of Europe.' AI answers, 'Fair point but I'd push back on that. You've still got 8 million soldiers. That's not nothing. Would you like me to draw up a plan that sees you snatching victory from the jaws of defeat?'
1/ Hitler 1945 in his bunker (we'll assume he didn't go to South America). He's staring defeat in the face and turns to AI (we'll assume it exists). 'The Russians are in the outskirts of Berlin and are only being held back by fourteen year olds. I've got 48 hours if I'm lucky..'
'That's not nothing' is LLM parlance that betrays its conditioning towards agreement and flattery. It's intended to be read in a positive light but indicates a negative result, as the model has found something lacking & been forced to barrel scrape & tags on 'that's not nothing'.
@RoughTrade It fuses their peak era (everything that isn't Tomorrow's Harvest) with their bland era (Tomorrow's Harvest) and the result is something that I'm just grateful isn't Tomorrow's Harvest.
